    Perhaps with all the snow in Sweden the bikes are only out between May & September so they calculate it in months ! ( + lack of 'salt' on the roads)

    depends what part of sweden you are in i suppose, but in general the roads are not practicle for riding for a good 4 months of the year.......mind you the swedish are all a little loopy so you never know

    it might have something to do with the outrageous amount of tax on any new bike bought in sweden , i think it,s something like 40% more than any other european country ! so they have to offer serious incentives to atract any new buyers.

    Given the ever increasing litiginous society in the UK and our ever increasing need to apportion blame - as long as it's not ours - I suspect UK warranty claims far exceed those of the Swedes even on a percentage basis for the same bike.

    I suspect the more practical minded, competent and honest Swedes are not particularly minded about any minor problems; either fixing it themselves or accepting responsibilty if the problem is of their making. Here in dopey, claim obsessed Britain, where many bikers seem not to even know how to change a spark plug nowadays, a claim will be made instead.

    Part of the reason why insurance in this country is also ludicrously high in comparison.
